Review by Myrl Mayert

September 02, 2024

Heavy Plays Restaurant & Cafe is an absolute gem in Portland! 🌟 I visited for lunch and was blown away by the incredible fried fish and shrimp combo - it was crispy, flavorful, and felt like home. The atmosphere exudes warmth with old-school jams playing in the background, making it perfect for family dining!

The service was fast and friendly, and the owners are truly passionate about their craft. I also loved the creamy banana pudding - a refreshing twist on the classic! Can’t wait to bring my friends next time! 🍽️✨
